And I don´t mean mak lots of sweters, but i do mean mak the one you do make count.<br /><br />You have a monster builder game, put a nice eyecatching sentens on the front of the swetter. Somthing like: "Ever wonder what my monster look like?" And on the back a nice big picture of the It´s Alive box cover. If you make the sweters like this i can garante its eyecatching, and that people wil probobly remember youre games more. Onley drawback, not realy shure how to incorperat the company name or logo. But i guess its not realy that big of a problem. Sins marketing youre games will inadvertebly bring atention to youre company further down the line.daje10https://www.blogger.com/profile/00815789480642728293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-90600235650602585722009-10-14T10:21:29.414+01:002009-10-14T10:21:29.414+01:00Hiya Daniel,

Sorry I missed your questions. Here ...Hiya Daniel,<br /><br />Sorry I missed your questions. Here are some answers:<br />1) Pre-orders are pretty low for all my games especially now that I've got pretty good distribution - it's often cheaper to buy it locally than pre-order and pay full price shipping.<br />2) The Sumeria print run was the most expensive one so far and was almost completely covered by previous sales.<br />3) Obviously I want to be able to draw a salary - but to do that I need to be making enough money to draw a salary and still fund new production runs.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JackJackson Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685562784078130612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-31106057734967283592009-10-12T09:17:58.205+01:002009-10-12T09:17:58.205+01:00Hiya Steve,

If not when do you think that will hapen? (previous printruns sovering new once)<br />If i remeber correctly you stil have not taken anny salary. You want to reatch "critical mass" as you put it before you take anny salary.
